Bernhard's Collected Poem is a key to understanding Bernhard's
irascible black comedy found in virtually all of his writings-even
down to his last will and testament. Beloved Austrian writer Thomas
Bernhard (1931-89) began his career in the early 1950s as a poet.
Over the next decade, Bernhard wrote thousands of poems and
published four volumes of intensely wrought and increasingly
personal verse, with such titles as On Earth and in Hell, In Hora
Mortis, and Under the Iron of the Moon. Bernhard's early poetry,
bearing the influence of Georg Trakl, begins with a deep connection
to his Austrian homeland. As his poems saw publication and
recognition, Bernhard seemed always on the verge of joining the
ranks of Ingeborg Bachmann, Paul Celan, and other young post-war
poets writing in German. During this time, however, his poems
became increasingly more obsessive, filled with undulant self-pity,
counterpointed by a defamatory, bardic voice utterly estranged from
his country, all of which resulted in a magisterial work of
anti-poetry-one that represents Bernhard's own harrowing experience
with his leitmotif of success and failure, which makes his fiction
such a pleasure. There is much to be found in these pages for
Bernhard fans of every stripe.
